Oklahoma Songwriter John Moreland released his newest album, High on Tulsa Heat on April 21st. Moreland’s songwriting shines through throughout the 10 tracks, emphasized by his stunning vocals. The album, produced in Moreland’s home studio in Oklahoma, hooks the listener from the first light strums of the guitar, with a haunting sadness and lyrics like, “Hang me in the Tulsa county stars.” Not to say that the album is all sad. “White Flag” confesses a helpless love. The title track, “High On Tulsa Heat” is again a plea to a love, “You're the place I miss when my heart gets heavy / Trouble my tomb stone mind”. Through striking lyrics and a distinct voice, Moreland is able to make you feel his own broken heart.
